NYC odd-even gas rationing: Is it working for you, Staten Island?

The Getty station on Richmond Road in Dongan Hills had been the scene of blocks-long lines that clogged traffic in the week after Hurricane Sandy struck. On Friday morning, the first day of odd-even gas rationing, just a few people were in line.

Across the borough, we're spotting an increasing number of stations that have gas, with relatively short lines.

Friday morning, a gas station that has been notorious for long lines had just three cars waiting for gas at about 9:30. The Getty station on Richmond Road in Dongan Hills had been the scene of blocks-long lines that clogged traffic in the week after Hurricane Sandy struck.

On Richmond Road in Richmond Thursday morning, the Citgo station had just a few cars in line. Hylan Boulevard in Huguenot, another station had a short line Thursday afternoon. It's becoming more common for Islanders to spot such a station and fill up when they need it, instead of camping out for hours.

What's your experience been, now that odd-even gas rationing has arrived here? (Details on how it works can be found here.) Let us know in the comment section below, and Tweet about it using the hashtag #siopen.
